'49 R pulley

grandpa Love · May 25, 2019

We were watching some YouTube videos and saw an R plowing and the pulley wasn't spinning? Can it be turned off? Ours spins as long as clutch is engaged. Thanks

Mine does too. I took mine off. Now just the shaft spins. Perhaps the newer ones were made so you could shut them off. I know the later U's were that way, but have never been around a newer R.

1953 and later U's could be disengaged. Probably same on R. Was someone looking for one for a Z lately.

The one on my '51 UTS can also be disengaged. Not sure if it was born that way or if someone switched it before I got it.

We have a 1950 RTU and the pulley runs anytime the clutch is engaged. Removed pulley and put cover over end of shaft for parades and tractor drives.

Mine is a 47 and runs all the time. Yes I took it off.

In my life time of using lettered MM tractors, Z, U, UB Special all spun with clutch engaged. GBD had a lever behind the pulley to disengage the belt pulley. Switched it on and off many tines grinding feed in the 60?s.

1953 UTS/GTB and all 1954-56 U diesel could be disengaged. ZAS and ZB book shows clutched belt pulley setup as well.

I may depend on the year it was made. My '48 RTU has a lever under the left side of the dash tower that engages/disengages the pto.

I was thinking of the pto lever.
